Missouri woman prompts Merriam-Webster to redefine 'racism'


In this Sunday, June 7, 2020, photo, Kennedy Mitchum protests outside the Florissant Police Department with other protesters on Lindbergh Boulevard in front of the Florissant Police Station, in Florissant, Missouri. APMerriam-Webster is revising its definition of racism after a Missouri woman's emails claimed it fell short of including the systemic oppression of certain groups of people. "It's not just disliking someone because of their race," Mitchum wrote in a Facebook post. "This current fight we are in is evidence of that, lives are at stake because of the systems of oppression that go hand-in-hand with racism." "This second definition covers the sense that Ms. Mitchum was seeking, and we will make its wording even more clear in our next release," he said.
